Diapers have leaked from day one...

So when my daughter was born 6 months I was so excited to cloth diaper.. I looked up everything I needed to know and washed them like crazy. I bought 40 used Alvas so that I'd have plenty to last us. But. . They haven't ever worked. Everytime she's peed we change her clothes toobbecause its all over. Everytime she poops we have stained clothes. Its all out the top the bottom the side.. eeverywhere. Shes always been small... (just hit 10 lbs at 4 months). I just assumed she's too small to cloth diaper. Now we have another on the way and I'd like to invest in sprayers and wetbags and more diapers but am afraid ill have the same result.. what's wrong with my diapers?! Please help.

My guess is that they are still a little big. My daughter just hit 11lbs with chunky legs and weve had a few leak because of the size. Covers and prefolds are the only diapers that work 100 percent of the time so far

At 10lb she is probably much too small for OS Alvas! My son is long and lean and didn't fit them well until at least 15lb (6 months for us). Take a break from them until they fit properly. Alvas are great when they actually fit :)

Try a different brand also. What works for one baby may not work for another. My little guy has been in alva's since 12 lbs with no issues. The fact that they're used may also have something to do with it. Try different brands but don't buy in bulk until you know what works for your little ones. There are so many options, from pockets, to prefolds, to AIO's.
